“These performers have found the right approach to these sonatas and this has resulted in highly satisfying and captivating performances. The contrasts are well realised, but never exaggerated. The same goes for the dynamic shading. This music is clearly influenced by the Italian style but it is still French music - the dramatic aspects are moderated by the then dominant French restraint”
